Resumo - Slides

I will present research lessons learned through our ongoing effort on MobilityFirst, a next-generation Internet architecture designed with mobility and security as central design goals. MobilityFirst enhances mobility by cleanly separating names or identifiers from addresses or network locations, and enhances security by representing both in an intrinsically verifiable manner, relying upon a massively scalable, distributed, global name service (GNS) to bind names and addresses.

A key insight emerging from our experience is that a logically centralized GNS can significantly enhance mobility and security and transform network-layer functionality. To substantiate this claim, I will present our recent work on the design and implementation of the Auspice GNS and its novel communication primitives. I will also briefly address the broader scientific challenges of comparing different Internet architecture proposals in a quantitative manner, and present our recent work comparing MobilityFirst's approach with alternative proposals.
